Thanks Lynne,
Everyone who signs up reads and agrees to follow basic forum rules ( they come with the forum script

) and are mostly just good manners to have in public ..... most people I've met on line are really nice people with very good manners to begin with......
People who just post nasty things are usually just one person out of a thousand who will not follow any rules anyway.
This is my first attempt at having a forum so maybe I'm starting out being nieve.... but I can censer words or warn people or even band someone who just wants to ruin things for everyone else if the need should ever arise.
I just wanted a place where I could have one forum for all my web sites ( and future sites ) instead of having one for each separate site.
I enjoy going to other peoples sites and blogs that are really interesting so I thought why not let them tell about their sites here too. I think we'll get a great mix of people and interests going.
For the start up I don't expect to many people will join up right away so it should be easy enough to watch over, then once I link from all my sites to here for the forums it will probably grow faster but I think it will be self policing by all the members.
I think most of the people that will come here will be coming here because they have a particular interest and have something better to do with their time then just cause trouble, and those people don't need a lot of rules to tell them how they should act in a public forum.
I want people coming to this forum to feel free to talk about what interests them, relax and not have to worry about anything.
The people who come to a forum is what makes the forum and I went people to feel at home here because it is really their forum or rather
